What is the width of the temp probe?

The probe is like an elongated pill shape. It is about 15mm long, and the cross section is about 5mm wide in the narrow direction, 6mm wide in the other direction. The two conductor wire comes out of the long end. The wires are about 1.6mm by 4mm in the cross section.

The dual timer is about 3 in. tall and about 3 in. wide. The probes are about 5 1/2 in. tall. I am pretty happy with it.

The reading is taken near the end, if I remember right there might even be a little indent showing how far the probe has to be inserted (1/4 inch or so).

Hi Montana Mike,The probe is 4.9 inches long. We love this thermometer for all of its features. Own many different "instant read" thermometers and find this unit far above the rest. Best Regards, Jack from The-Greatest-barbecue-Recipes.com

I do not have a micrometer to measure the probe, but, the answers given by OBX Joe and Larry Bevans are both good, useful information.

The metal probe is 4 15/16 inches, or 12.8 cm. The stem has a sensor in a narrower point that will penetrate meat, etc, easier than the more blunt model that I formerly owned (until my wife left it in the oven!)

Total length is as Richard stated. The sensor is about 1/2 inch long at the tip of the probe.

No, it'much smaller; maybe 1.5" w x 1" h x .5 d. I used it as a temp gauge for my pond and is installed in a weatherproof electrical box on a post.

Cords measure as follows: 35 inches for the Grill/Smoker probe and 30 inches for the food probe. These measurements are for cords ONLY and do not include the measurement of the probe they are attached to. Hope this helps you.

The probe cord is 44 inches long and the unit does have a magnet on the back to secure it to a metal surface. Not sure about the comment of not leaving the probe in while cooking; maybe for use in an oven. I have used it twice only with a gas barbeque: once I left the probe in for pork tenderloin and once I had to insert the probe to test the temp as I was using the rotisserie. Worked great both times. Suggest you remove the battery and not store the unit with the battery in it.

Probe is 8" long. Measurement apparatus is 3"H x 2"W x 1"D. I don't use it because the default reading for all three functions sits on 2 instead of 0. And it usually stays there no matter what you want to measure. It also only goes into my potted plans about 3 inches for some reason. I think the dirt gets stuck between the two probes. I wouldn't buy it again.

1/8" thick X 5.5 x 8.5", (don't buy it....mine burnt out within 3 weeks with a thermostatic control only for when the temp freezing)

I get six and a half inches from tip to tail. Probe is four and three quarter inches

The probe is 2 3/4 inches long. I would think you don't have to go to the very center to get an appropriate reading. Remember also, the meat temp will rise at least 5 degrees after taking it out of the oven.

The metal probe is 2.75" long. The entire unit is 6.75" long. However the protective cap when connected to the opposite end makes the unit 10" long. This nice feature saves a lot of fingers when the grill is really hot. This is a great unit and I definitely recommend it.

What you might be thinking of as a probe is actually the thermocouple. It's a K-type thermocouple and it's about 2-3' long.
